Vintage, Pacific Northwest “West Coast Portrait Mask” by Val Stickings-Duncan. The details, colors and addition of hair and palm are eerie and gorgeous. This was part of my uncle’s estate. Writing on back is translated from pencil to note paper. Has been in storage in a box for over a dozen years, since his passing. Once hung, the fibers should straighten out and hang down.
